"We have had them for about three years and we have also been very satisfied. They have been responsive to us. Once we had a snake in the basement and I did not want to deal with it, I called them. They could not help me, but they referred me to somebody else who did."

"Sean assessed the house found where the bees were coming in even though I swear they were coming in somewhere else and sprayed. He was kind enough to answer my million questions and gave me a 9 month guarantee on his work. I had him out for an estimate only and wound up having him take care of my bee problem right then and there. I will have him back in the spring to spray for bees and spiders.I am happy with Pest Control's service."

"I received quotes from other wildlife companies who wanted to charge me $5000 plus to remove bats from my attic. I was told I had a â bat problem.â I had Matt and Brian stop by from VerminX to get a third quote. Both were super knowledgeable and took their time to check every nook and cranny in the house before giving their assessment. Contrary to these other wildlife companies, they advised me I do not have a bat problem, explained why and quoted me $1400 to bat proof my attic / residence. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone with integrity to actually assess the problem and not use a â fear factorâ technique by telling me I have a large bat problem when there were just a couple stray bats that managed to work their way into my house. If you donâ t want to be scammed into spending thousands of dollars when you may not have to, I highly recommend giving this company a call to give you a knowledgeable and honest assessment of the problem."

"This was an emergency and it was treated like one by Langdon and his team of workers. These gentleman arrived within minutes, after quickly returning my call. My family and I were up all night with a bat flying around and we were very frightened and panicked. (We had never experienced this before.) Paul and Matt arrived and they were quick to remedy the problem! I was very impressed and we were SO relieved!! They explained the type of bat that this was and their behavior during this time of the year. They checked the whole perimeter of the house (inside & out) and pointed out areas of potential problems if not treated/sealed. They were NOT pushy or trying to sell anything. Just being very informative and they answered all of our questions. TOP NOTCH GENTLEMEN! ** LANGDON, PAUL and MATT ** - THANK YOU !!!!!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

DIY treatments exist, but professional extermination is recommended for thorough elimination and prevention.

When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.

The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.

One way to keep pests away is with good housekeeping. Keep ants away with a clean kitchen. They’re less likely to wander in looking to score some free food if there isn’t a mess to find. Wipe down counters, don’t leave dirty dishes around, and keep food in air-tight containers. 

Home and yard maintenance can also keep pests away. Seal windows, patch any holes or cracks, and put screens on the vents to prevent bugs, rodents, and other uninvited guests from coming in.

You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.

To keep deer from eating your trees, you can either put up barriers or install a deer repellant. Barriers that protect trees from deer include tree wrap or fencing. You can also plant deer-resistant trees to prevent deer from eating or scraping against your trees or garden with plants that deer don’t like to be around.
